As the time on the phone reached 7:43:10 PM, the countdown began.

5.

The police and firefighters on the rooftop all took a deep breath.

4.

Their leg muscles were tense, ready for an explosive sprint.

3.

The police officers and firefighters on the rooftop kept their eyes fixed on Qian Mengyao at the edge of the rooftop, their spirits high and their attention focused, mentally simulating what would happen after the sprint began.

2.

Qin Huanyu, in her ward on the 6th floor, was also in a catapult-like stance by the window.

1.

Everyone's heart was beating fast, and their breathing was noticeably rapid.

rush.

The police and firefighters on the rooftop acted simultaneously, rushing towards Qian Mengyao from the front. In an instant, they covered several meters and were about to reach out and grab her.

Unfortunately, they were still a step too late.

The moment she saw the police and firefighters rushing towards her, Qian Mengyao didn't hesitate at all and jumped off the rooftop.

However, the expected pain did not occur. Qian Mengyao didn't even feel much of the night wind when she jumped from the height before she was caught in someone's arms.

It was a warm and soft embrace, which even a frozen and desperate heart began to melt and waver.

Chapter 16 Rescue Successful

Qin Huanyu had already calculated both possibilities before arranging this rescue plan.

It would be best if the police and firefighters on the rooftop could rush up and subdue Qian Mengyao before she could react.

It's okay if you can't do it.

Because Qin Huanyu was in the room directly below Qian Mengyao, she had already observed and calculated Qian Mengyao's physical strength and jumping ability through video.

Combining the current wind speed and air density, calculating the exact path Qian Mengyao took when jumping off the rooftop was no problem for Qin Huanyu, who possessed extraordinary computing power.

At that moment, Qin Huanyu successfully jumped out of the 6th-floor window and caught the girl who jumped from the rooftop.

Then, amidst the gasps of the crowd downstairs and on the roof, he made a very cool turn in mid-air while holding the girl in his right hand, and aimed his left hand, which was wearing a metal wristband, at the wall of the ward building.

Whoosh!

With a whooshing sound, a steel cable, about the thickness of a kebab skewer, shot out from the wrist guard on Qin Huanyu's left arm and was firmly fixed to the wall outside the ward building.

With the help of the steel cable, the inertia of Qin Huanyu jumping out while holding Qian Mengyao was immediately canceled out. Then, using the fixed point of the steel cable as the center, she swung back like a pendulum and jumped back into the building from the window on the 5th floor of the ward building.

"Hu~~"

Even with meticulous calculations and near-perfect confidence, the entire sequence of movements was still quite dangerous, and Qin Huanyu finally breathed a sigh of relief.

But suddenly I noticed a warm sensation on my chest, and another breath was constantly exhaling from my nostrils.

Looking down quickly, I saw that Qian Mengyao's face was very red and her breathing was very rapid. It seemed that Qin Huanyu had hugged her too tightly when she was swinging back in the air, and almost suffocated her.

"I'm so sorry, I was careless and forgot that you are quite weak."

Qin Huanyu quickly released Qian Mengyao and asked with concern:

"Are you OK?"

Qian Mengyao didn't answer, but only glanced at Qin Huanyu with a somewhat strange look. Her face flushed even more, and she lowered her head shyly, giving an irrelevant answer, uttering her first words after being diagnosed with severe depression:

"Officer sister...you're so cool."

. . . . .

The girl who wanted to commit suicide was finally rescued, and everyone else at the hospital breathed a sigh of relief.

Although Qian Mengyao appeared to be unharmed, the hospital, adhering to a rigorous approach, still decided to give her a comprehensive examination immediately.

This time, Qian Mengyao wasn't willful anymore, but she wasn't very cooperative either, and she went back to being silent as before.

However, her previous words did stir something in Qin Huanyu's heart.

"Clearly, the girl's impression of me has improved considerably due to the suspension bridge effect. Perhaps I can take this opportunity to have a deeper conversation with her and find a new breakthrough in the case."

"Although we've been investigating her case for several days, it's only been a side investigation; her own personal experience is more important."

"Previously, everyone was worried about her severe depression and didn't dare to force her to answer questions. Now that I'm going in person, maybe there'll be a chance."

Qin Huanyu quickly made up her mind and sent a message to Duanmu Ling, saying that she probably wouldn't be going back to her apartment tonight and planned to take advantage of the moment at the hospital to have a good talk with Qian Mengyao.

However, this would have to wait until Qian Mengyao's physical examination was over, so Qin Huanyu first found the policewoman under Xiao Liu's command and asked about the situation.

"I'm sorry, Sister Yu, it was my carelessness."

The policewoman was completely different from Qin Huanyu; she had short hair, a flat chest, and wore trousers. While not as pretty as Qin Huanyu, she was still quite attractive and a typical tomboy.

“I just went to the restroom, less than a minute, and I never expected this to happen… This girl has always been very well-behaved, I never thought she would suddenly do something like this.”

“Everything has a reason. Although patients with severe depression may have suicidal thoughts at any time, she has managed to get through these days, which may be because she was stimulated by something.”

Qin Huanyu sat down on the accompanying chair in Qian Mengyao's hospital room, her legs, clad in thigh-high boots and black stockings, crossed over each other.

"Has anything happened today? Has her family contacted her?"

"No."

The tomboyish policewoman shook her head, somewhat gritting her teeth:

"Her parents are truly cold-blooded and heartless bastards. Ever since they announced they were severing ties with her, they've completely ignored her... This is their own daughter whom they raised from childhood! Can businessmen really abandon humanity for profit?"

"However, her brothers are at least somewhat kind-hearted..."

The policewoman, feisty and effeminate, then changed the subject:

“Her brothers have visited her several times these days. Each time they bring her lots of good food and talk to her, but she still won’t speak.”

“Her brothers are probably all quite busy with work, so they don’t stay for long each time. They’ll give me some cash and tell me to buy her whatever she wants.”

"Of course, she never asked for anything on her own initiative, and she didn't even want to eat. If it weren't for the IV fluids she received at the hospital, she probably would have starved to death."

"So I haven't touched any of that money. I'm just keeping it safe for her for now... Look, it's all here, Sister Yu."

As she spoke, the policewoman took a cake box from a small cabinet next to the hospital bed and handed it to Qin Huanyu.

Qin Huanyu opened the box and glanced inside, discovering it was filled with the largest denomination banknotes, totaling at least tens of thousands of Zhou Yuan.

Regardless of their true feelings, Qian Mengyao's brothers have been quite generous in spending money on their sister.

Qin Huanyu casually closed the cake box lid and put it back in its original place:

Did Qian Mengyao's brothers come to visit her today?

"No, her four older brothers came by one after another a couple of days ago, but none of them came today."

The fake little policewoman shook her head:

"However, I have already notified them, and they are on their way to the hospital. It's just that the traffic is quite congested right now, so it will probably take them some time to get here."

As she spoke, the tomboyish policewoman clearly recalled something, and once again bared her teeth in anger:

“I just notified Qian Mengyao’s parents, and guess what they said, Sister Yu? They said it’s good that their shameful daughter, Qian Mengyao, committed suicide, so as not to bring shame to the family. They also told us not to save her, and that they would give us a red envelope if she succeeded in committing suicide.”

"Sigh~~"

Qin Huanyu couldn't help but gasp upon hearing this.

Qian Mengyao's parents are indeed extremely inhumane.

Shaking her head to get back on track, Qin Huanyu asked again:

"So? There's nothing else going on at the hospital today. Qin Mengyao just had a sudden suicidal idea due to a severe bout of depression?"

"Other possibilities... oh, not entirely none."

The tomboy policewoman pondered for a moment, then her eyes suddenly lit up:

“I remember now, a female high school student came to visit Qian Mengyao this afternoon. She claimed to be Qian Mengyao’s classmate and friend. But she only stayed for a very short time, and I almost forgot about her.”

Chapter 17 Hot Girl

"Qian Mengyao's classmate?"

Qin Huanyu raised an eyebrow:

Have any of Qian Mengyao's classmates visited her in the hospital before?

"Yes, there were quite a few when she first had the accident. They were often in groups of several, sometimes even with teachers from the school leading them."

The policewoman, feigning ignorance, recalled for a moment and replied:

"However, Qian Mengyao didn't say a word to her teachers and classmates. Only a few of her classmates genuinely cared about her; most seemed to be there to see her make a fool of herself."

"To prevent Qian Mengyao from being further agitated, I spoke with her school teachers, and after that, no one from the school came to see her."

"So when that girl came over today, I was quite surprised, but she didn't act strangely at all, and she only stayed for a few minutes before leaving, so I didn't think much of it... Could it be that Qian Mengyao was really provoked by her?"

"What did that girl do here? Did Qian Mengyao react at all?"

Qin Huanyu pressed for an answer.

"The girl arrived around 1:40 p.m.... I don't remember exactly, but she left saying she had class in the afternoon, so that should be about right."

The tomboyish policewoman thought for a moment, then pointed to a fruit basket among the piles of gifts and snacks in the corner of the ward:

“She came with this fruit basket. She first introduced herself to me, then put down the fruit basket and ran to Qian Mengyao’s side, whispering to her like a little girl.”

"I was worried they were talking about something private, like teenage romance or something, and that if outsiders overheard, it would upset Qian Mengyao even more, so I didn't go near to listen. Instead, I went to the door to indicate that I couldn't hear... Damn it, could it really be that there was something wrong with those few words?"

"It's hard to say, I can only say it's possible."

Qin Huanyu didn't rush to conclusions; instead, she offered a word of comfort to the tomboyish policewoman:

"Don't worry, I think you handled it well. Even if someone has to be held responsible, I'll put in a good word for you... after all, I'm the one in charge of this case."

"Thank you, Sister Yu."

The policewoman, looking at Qin Huanyu with gratitude, sighed again.

"However, it was ultimately my carelessness that gave her the opportunity to go to the rooftop. I will humbly accept any criticism and punishment that is due."

"Just remember the lesson and be more careful next time. Everyone makes mistakes."

Qin Huanyu reassured the fake policewoman once again, then returned to the main topic:

"Let's continue talking about that girl... How long did she whisper with Qian Mengyao? Did Qian Mengyao react during or after that?"

"No, Qian Mengyao didn't react at all. She didn't say a word, and her expression and eyes didn't change much either. I've been observing her from the shadows."

The tomboy policewoman answered very confidently:

"That's why I didn't take this little thing to heart... The girl whispered in Qian Mengyao's ear for a very short time, probably less than two minutes. After that, she hurriedly left, using the excuse that she had to go to class in the afternoon."

"That's it..."

Qin Huanyu pondered for a moment, then suddenly stood up:

"This hospital has surveillance cameras. I'll go to the security office to find the afternoon's footage. You can point out that girl to me later, okay?"

"of course."

In fact, even if the policewoman didn't identify her, Qin Huanyu could easily find the girl who came to visit Qian Mengyao in the afternoon on the surveillance video.

Because among all the people who entered and exited the ward building this afternoon, only one person was dressed as a high school girl.

Unlike Qian Mengyao, a top student and a pampered young lady, that high school girl was clearly a hot girl.

She was wearing a sailor-style high school uniform, but the skirt was clearly modified, much shorter than a normal school uniform skirt, and a 60-degree bend over could easily expose her buttocks.

She wore light makeup, with brightly colored lips, and punk-style trendy silver jewelry on her ears, wrists, and neck.

"...You actually think there's nothing wrong with a hot-girl high school girl like this?"

Just moments ago, Qin Huanyu had been comforting the tomboyish policewoman, but now she was scolding her in a very unpleasant tone:

"No matter how you look at her, she doesn't seem like a top student at all. In fact, she should be the complete opposite of a top student like Qian Mengyao... You really believe that the two of them are good friends?"
